iRobot added a new robot vacuum to its lineup today, the Roomba i3+.
The Roomba i3+ can empty what it collects on its own, similar to the Roomba i7+ and s9+. The bin can hold up to 60 days worth of dust and debris, and the bag will trap 99 percent of pollen and mold, iRobot says.
The robo vac's intelligent navigation allows it to clean rooms in neat rows and travel across hard floors and carpet. If the charge runs low, the i3+ will recharge itself and gets back to cleaning.
The iRobot Home App, available for iOS and Android, offers suggestions based on your Roomba’s activity, including recommended cleaning schedules. The device gets smarter over time as you use the app, iRobot says.
If you're away from home, prompt the i3+ to clean through smart home devices or location-based services. Pair it with an Alexa or Google Assistant device to control it via voice.
At $599, the i3+ is no small investment, but without the clean base automatic dirt disposal feature, it's $399. It's available now in the US and Canada and will arrive internationally next year.
